This is an excellent option to teach programming to kids. Pygame has been always the recommended game library for Python due to its maturity. But Pygame had been my preferred option as it had less boilerplate and seemed more Pythonic. However, its project activity is quite low.

Pygame Zero seems like the best of both worlds.

I submitted Kivent the other day: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9624193

Just as another option for Python-based game development if you're interested. Personally, I find Pygame really annoying and Pyglet is great but not really game-focused so it takes some extra footwork. I haven't had a chance to really dig into Kivent yet but it seems promising, especially because it should simplify distributing a game.

Wait, pygame is recomended, but you prefer... pygame?

His preference is probably "pyglet" :)

Sorry, you are right. I had meant to write pyglet as my preferred option.
